Masterful sailing! I didn't know that this bonus mission existed because i fire bombed the aragonte. So cool. Next time I'll capture her. Speed is the key. I love how the wind just flips a 180 suddenly 😖 That battle had me on the edge of my seat.
That was inspirational. I've recently started playing this game again, and I had completely forgotten this mission existed. I have no idea how I managed it the last time around, but I know I never used fire ships, like many others seem to have. This video has shown me that you can win this thing through cheek and pluck.
@@CmdrTyrael I just made a bold attempt last night and failed, but _very nearly_ succeeded in sinking the lot. Because I had the idea of outfitting the Arogante with carronades - most of her engagements would be at fairly close quarters anyway, and my word... I think a couple more attempts and I might be able to get the gold _and_ a SOL out of this mission!
Haha that would be a true tale of legend. I contented myself with their gold. I imagine your fleet would be invincible that early with all those SOL. The Yankee revolution won't know what hit it 🤣
@@CmdrTyrael It took three tries, but I succeeded in the end! Mind you, when I first started the career, I did choose a lighter difficulty. Still felt satisfactory, though.
@@CmdrTyrael Thank you for your personal answer. Didn't make it the way you did it, since they didnt really follow the HMS Arrogant. I kind of think they follow the slowest?! I ended up with only one of the treasure ships but also got myself one of the 3rd rates.
Capturing another 3rd rate is arguably more useful for the fleet than Spanish gold for the king... bravo sir. I made sure they targeted Arrogante by throwing her in their face 🤣
This particular ship is a captured Spanish Third Rate. So spanish pronounciation was used. She was rechristened HMS Arrogant 🇬🇧 after some decisive actions, such as in this video. Although I do admit to butchering French names later in the campaign 🤣 Thanks for watching.
Impressive feat of seamanship and gunnery. The admiralty will be greatly impressed by this achievement.
Hell of an effort by Arrogante, she more than earned a rechristening.
Crazy good strategy employed to keep their guns off of you.
First time I watched a video of this game but that was a brilliant strategy
A flying squadron can't be beaten when you need to do something fast and safely 🫡
You do need a solid blocker though. Arrogante is up to the task.
@@CmdrTyrael with a great commander it was more than capable to achieve this task

This one was really fun. I would have loved to board and capture the whole fleet 🤣
Good to see you are still doing this
Plenty more episodes queued for release. We will see the end of the campaign in short order.
Thanks for watching 🫡

To be honest. This mission and the Arrogante mission, were my favorite and challenging!

I don't think admiralty will care too much about the difficulty.... when presented with such trophies 🫡 well done!
Make sure to re-christen the Arrogante as HMS Arrogant ;)
Thats perfect!
That's exactly what i did with her
Awesome display of seamanship! I looked up this specific mission and I disliked the often used fireship tactic.
Great approach and execution!!!
Thank you very much. This was one of my favourite missions. Stealing the Gold right from under their noses. 🫡

It's pronounced "Arro-gaunt" in French. There is no "tay" at the end.
